Many of the people who worked on BTC worked on Ethereum. Many of the people who worked on Steem worked on EOS.

- Ethereum Classic is actually the original ETH chain, so technically speaking ... Ethereum (the fork of ETH Classic) is better than ETC.

- Litecoin (a fork of Tenebrix) is better than Tenebrix (which is ded).
- NEM (a fork of NXT) is better than NXT (even prior to the new codebase).
- Monero (a fork of Bytecoin) is better than Bytecoin (even prior to the new codebase).

I'm sure there are plenty of other lesser examples, but these are the most glaring and popular.

I think Tron has shown it certainly intends to fork asap, as Roy Liu has repeatedly indicated they reckon reducing powerdown time dramatically necessary, and from various statements regarding their plans for Steemit, Inc., and Steem.  It's also been reported to me that Sun has offered proxy.token voters things that could only be provided by a fork.

There's little doubt in my mind that Tron will undertake a fork asap.

I appreciate your courteous reply.  Thanks!
